I think I understand what you're saying James and I couldn't help thinking while I was reading your comments that the brain and the mind really are complex and a great deal of study is necessary to work through the maze of available information

It was probably wise for Iain to explain his views as simply as possible, after all who and how many of us even basically understand the subject of brain and mind function and development

What we all understand though is the results of said function and development...action ! we usually act on what we think...to just put that in simple terms

This very last sentence of yours caught my attention..."But then the whole notion of us appraising ourselves as right brained or left brained is about as useful as aligning ourselves with the traits of a Sagittarius or a Gemini."

Iain did say that both hemispheres "talk" to each other, not in those words, but how could we think straight if one hemisphere wasn't bridged to the other ?

Given the complexity of the brain/mind duo I think that as the studies progress, it should be kept as simple as possible in order to understand it adequately in a common way

Most members of the Public already know that we all possess two hemispheres...they also understand and relate to left-wing thinking and right-wing thinking, with all the variations emanating within those, but that's hardly enough

We need heaps more education about the mind so we can better understand ourselves, then we might acquire mindsets that are more congruent with a less impaired Planet
